Internet Tonight (1998 - October 1, 2001) is a television program on the cable network ZDTV (later known as TechTV, now known as G4). The show combined the "effervescent moxie" of Michaela Pereira with the "dry wit" of Scott Herriott, to bring the viewers the latest in Internet trends, humor, and news. Due to the production value it was called the "absolute slickest show had" but was canceled when "Paul took a dislike to the show ... and just killed it"
A daily, half-hour show, it was on the launch schedule for ZDTV, and strove to be "the show of record about the Net." Segments included Strange Sites, Incredibly Useful Sites, and Home Sweet Homepage. The collection of these links were amassed into an archive called The Big List and on each show Scott's trademark was to yell 'THE BIG LIST' at its first mention. The show had contributing correspondents, most with their own dedicated segment:
- The Surf Guru - ZDTV'S night watchman and self-proclaimed net expert played by Ed Marques.
- Meghan Marx - the host of Love Online with Match.com
- Liam Mayclem - the Music Online reporter and
- Roving reporter SuChin Pak
Famous quotes containing the word tonight:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
